This is an idea worth considering; I think if we do decide to implement 
this we should considering adopting it as part of a formal revision of 
the policy, because it's a significant departure from our traditional 
practice. However if we decide to do this I don't think we necessarily 
need originals of the audit letter and other documents; notarized copies 
should suffice.
